Most professionals evaluate risks one at a time.

But real leaders — and every CRISC exam scenario — know the truth:

Multiple low risks can combine into a high risk

when they affect the same critical process.

In this episode of the Risk Leadership Decision Lab, we unpack a real scenario where three “low” risks quietly stacked into a major exposure inside the customer identity-validation process.

You’ll learn how to spot compounded risk, how to reframe ratings, and how to guide stakeholders toward clearer decision-making.

You’ll learn:

* Why individual risk ratings can be misleading

* The leadership skill of cross-risk dependency analysis

* How to identify compounding exposure early

* What exam questions expect when risks interact

* How leaders use aggregation to strengthen governance
